‘Frelling’ Hot Right Now

Meet The Geeks

Forget winter, Game of Thrones stars are coming.

Melbourne will host Australia’s first convention dedicated to the TV adaptation of George RR Martin’s books in May next year, when VIP guests from the show travel to the city for the two-day event.

Organisers have already confirmed one guest for the convention, and a little raven told us that a second guest will be unveiled in the coming days (*coughs* tomorrow).

So, who is the first Game of Thrones star confirmed for ‘ThronesCon’?

It’s none other than Miltos Yerolemou.

Take a dragon ride back to season one for a moment… Miltos played Syrio Forel, the master sword-fighter recruited by papa Stark to train his youngest daughter, Arya, in the art of sword fighting.

We didn’t know it then, but Forel helped the young Stark in the initial stages of her journey from feisty, restless child to where we left her in the last episode of season six, which can only be described as a graduate in ‘faceless’ training who abandoned her teachings because she could not be nameless.
